Hi! I'm Rachael, a counsellor and psychotherapist working out of the Inner North Adelaide suburbs. I am a warm and empathic practitioner with a good sense of humour. After experiencing abuse in my younger years and experiencing some bumps in the road later on, I chose to step into the field of counselling and psychotherapy. My work as a Pastoral Care Worker at a local school and other experiences working with young people have shown me the importance of early intervention while my lived experience has shown me the possibility for recovery later in life. Using a tailored approach to each client, I love to work with clients from all backgrounds and walks of life with an interest in supporting clients in emotional acceptance, meaning-making and trauma recovery. I also work with faith-based clients who wish to incorporate spirituality in our sessions, including Christianity. For me, counselling and psychotherapy are all about journeying alongside someone by being a warm and calming presence. By showing empathy, teaching skills and drawing on a client's internal resources I seek to work myself out of a job. Don't hesitate to reach out to me
